How to Choose the Right Sauna for Your Home
Selecting the perfect home sauna involves balancing several factors: heat type preference, available space, capacity needs, and budget. Our quiz simplifies this process by matching your specific requirements to saunas that fit your lifestyle.
🔥 Infrared vs Traditional: Key Differences
Infrared saunas heat your body directly at 120-150°F, offering a gentler experience ideal for detoxification and pain relief. Traditional saunas heat the air to 150-195°F, providing the classic hot stones and steam experience. Hybrid models offer both options in one unit.
What Size Sauna Do You Need?
Sauna capacity is typically measured by the number of people who can sit comfortably inside. For solo use, a 1-2 person sauna provides an intimate experience in a compact footprint. Couples often prefer 2-3 person models for extra stretching room. Families and entertainers should consider 4+ person saunas for group sessions.
Indoor vs Outdoor Sauna Installation
Indoor saunas work well in basements, spare rooms, or large bathrooms with proper ventilation. They're protected from weather and convenient year-round. Outdoor saunas create a spa-like backyard retreat, with barrel styles being particularly popular for their aesthetic appeal and efficient heating.

Sauna Buying FAQ
What's the difference between infrared and traditional saunas?
+
Infrared saunas use light waves to heat your body directly at lower air temperatures (120-150°F), making them feel milder while still producing a deep sweat. Traditional saunas heat the air to 150-195°F using stones or electric heaters, creating the classic intense heat experience with optional steam (löyly). Many people find infrared easier to tolerate for longer sessions.
How much does a home sauna cost?
+
Entry-level infrared saunas start around $1,999-2,500 for 1-2 person models. Mid-range options with premium features run $3,000-7,000. Premium and luxury saunas with full-spectrum heaters, medical-grade features, or hybrid technology range from $7,000-20,000+. Traditional barrel saunas typically cost $5,000-10,000.
Do I need special electrical for a sauna?
+
Most infrared saunas plug into a standard 120V outlet, making installation simple. Larger traditional saunas and some premium infrared models require a dedicated 240V circuit, similar to an electric dryer. We recommend having an electrician assess your setup before purchase.
How much space do I need for a home sauna?
+
A 1-2 person sauna typically requires 4'x4' of floor space plus clearance for the door. 3-4 person models need approximately 5'x5' to 6'x6'. Ceiling height of at least 7' is recommended. Outdoor barrel saunas need additional space for entry and any accessories like cold plunges or showers.
What's the best sauna for health benefits?
+
Both infrared and traditional saunas offer health benefits including improved circulation, muscle recovery, stress relief, and detoxification. Infrared may be better for pain relief and is easier to tolerate for longer sessions. Traditional saunas provide more intense cardiovascular benefits. Hybrid models offer the flexibility to choose based on your daily needs.
